I decided to go in the middle in trying to decide to GM the Astros or someone as bad as the Braves from my simmed 2017 season. I took the 79-83 Orioles. I have hired a new Asst. GM, bench coach and pitching coach. The lineup was stellar batting wise, but the pitching was awful! Worst pitching ERA in the AL.
So, I brought in Brad Peacock from the Astros, Free agent Chris Tillman (who had a good year for the Reds after being traded by the O's) and I waived SS Zack Cozart and signed free agent SS Alcides Escobar.
After I got the acquisitions I wanted, I had the cliche' thought in my head, "Ok, I feel good about this team and who we brought in and I think we can win with this team!"
I had only 10 million in free agency money and traded for Peacock. I have the winter meetings yet to come, so who knows? But I feel good about this team!

Have any of you had that "satisfied, I think I made the right moves and feel good about this team" feeling?
